An Iraqi man checks the scene of an explosion outside the Kurdish Cihan Bank in the Karrada district of Iraq's capital Baghdad on January 17, 2022 after two banks in the city were targeted with explosive devices late on Sunday injuring two people. - Iraq's Sunni and Kurdish parties have become the latest targets of attacks in what experts have dubbed a maximum pressure campaign adopted by Shiite groups seeking political gains. A series of nocturnal attacks since last week in the Iraqi capital Baghdad have injured two people.
